Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 26: Unexpected Event
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Mom, let's go," Caleb told me.It was a Saturday, and I decided to spend some quality time with Caleb and Mel.As per Caleb's request, we also brought Brian with us, who by the way, for the past two months didn't stop courting me, even after I told even him that he just wasting his time since my focus was on my family.Most of the time when our family went out to bond, Brian was always there, and I could see that Caleb was getting attached to him. It was like he was seeing Brian as a father figure, and I couldn't blame him.I could see that Brian really likes my son; he really cares about him, not just because he's courting me but because he really does care about Caleb, and I am thankful for that.I didn't realize the smile on my lips as I continued to watch Caleb run towards Brian, but I could see such happiness on my son's face because of my employer.When Brian learned that we were going out, he invited us to go to the amusement park in Laguna, and when
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 27: New Found Help
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Have you seen this kid?"I continued to ask everyone I encountered the same question, only to receive the same response each time.No one knew or saw my son, and it's been days since I began lurking on the street and asking other people if they had seen him.As a mother, I cannot sit idly by while my cherished son stays missing. Many thoughts passed through my head, particularly when I was alone, and none were reassuring.Since Caleb was kidnapped, it has been about a week, and the fact that I haven't been able to see my baby in all of these days is mentally and emotionally torturous.People who were close to me kept assuring me that everything was going to be fine, but I couldn't see how that could be the case as long as my son was still missing.The heels of my shoes are nearly worn out from all the walking I did; I needed to be able to cover a large area by asking people whether they had seen my son.I was aware that the police were conducting the investi
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 28: A Threat
-=Gabby's Point of View=-Even though he did not speak, I could tell from the way his chest moved that he was fuming mad, and in addition to that, I could sense a sinister aura emanating from him.If Caleb hadn't been kidnapped, then he would still be in the dark about the truth, and I couldn't blame him if he got mad when he found out that we have a son.He has every reason to be angry with me, and even though I deeply regret what I did, it is too late to take back my actions. Nevertheless, I am willing to take any punishment he decides to impose on me so long as he saves our son from harm.When he abruptly stepped on the brake, I was jolted awake from my dazed state, and when I peered outside, I realized that we had arrived at Jayden's place.Since I didn't bother to glance outside while we were driving, I have no idea exactly where we are because the entire estate is encircled by a variety of trees and plants.As soon as the vehicle came to a stop, Jayden got out of the driver's se
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 29: My Son
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Please, Jayden, I beseech you, do not do this to me; do not take Caleb from me!"After learning the truth from her, my mental state is in such a state of disarray that I couldn't be bothered to listen to her pleas.I decided to ignore her repeated calls for my name; I hold her responsible for our son's abduction; if she hadn't concealed the truth from me, none of this would have happened; I could have protected our son, if only he trusted me; if only...I smiled bitterly when I remembered that I almost proposed to her. Back when I asked her to come with me to Norway, I planned to propose to her and marry her in Norway.Now I understand why she made the decision to leave me, and it was simply because she was terrified that I would take Caleb away from her.Although it pains me to confess it, I am still in agony as a result of what took place; yet, the fury that I felt and the concern that I had for my son overpowered the pain that I felt.I was infuriated be
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 30: A Mother's Love
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"You must eat, Gabby," Mel remarked with such concern and worry in her voice.Since Caleb is still missing, I simply gave her a hollow expression and shook my head; I neither have the appetite nor the desire to eat.It has been seven days since I last spoke with Jayden about our son, and I have not heard from him since that day.I considered the possibility that Jayden had already rescued Caleb and, true to his threat, decided to take Caleb away from me.I feel like I'm losing my mind from worrying about my son; if I had to choose, I'd rather Jayden take Caleb away from me than for him to be in danger; at least then I'd have peace of mind that he's safe.I was roused from my daze when I felt Mel's hand on my shoulder, and when I looked at her, I forced a smile to show her that I was still hanging on, but the smile instantly turned to sorrow, and a few seconds later tears started to run from my eyes."I don't know what to do anymore; this is all my fault; if I
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 31: Runaway
-=Gabby's Point of View=-After locking Mel in the bathroom, I haven't been able to shake the feeling of remorse that has come over me, but I had no choice; I couldn't wait any longer, and I have to take action in order to get Caleb back.I've been snooping around Jayden's estate for thirty minutes. I honestly didn't think it would be easy to enter this neighborhood, considering how filthy rich the residents are, and I was expecting stricter security.Or perhaps I was just lucky; when I arrived, the security guard was taking a break, allowing me to enter without anyone knowing.It took me around fifteen to twenty minutes to reach Jayden's residence.It is a two-story Mediterranean-style mansion with a large solar array and ample space for parking, and it is surrounded by various plants and trees.Everywhere you look, you can see that they spent a fortune to develop this place.The entire location is eerily silent, and I didn't see anyone, but knowing Jayden, I'm sure there are a large
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 32: I'm Your Dad
-=Jayden's Point of View=-It was very difficult for me not to be affected by the memory of Gabby's pleading expression, but I would be lying if I said that it didn't upset me when I thought about it.After what she did and after she lied about Caleb, I have no reason to feel sympathy or even pity for her. I should not be feeling these things.When I looked over at my son, who was still sound asleep, I exhaled a long, slow breath. I wasn't sure if he was aware that his mother had tried to take him away from me because he was still sleeping blissfully.Because of the medication that was administered to him, he has been sleeping for the past few days.However, the medical experts that I hired assured me that this is quite normal and that he should be waking up at any moment now.Actually, I was more concerned about how I would explain to him that he will no longer see his mother as a result of my decision when he awakens and begins asking about her.Even before Gabby went into Caleb's r
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 33: A Chance for Another Love
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"What do you think you are doing with your life, Gabby? I know you miss Caleb; I miss him too, but that doesn't mean you should starve yourself to death!"As I continued to stare into nothingness, I could hear the worry in Mel's voice, but honestly, it didn't really register with me at all at the time.A week has passed since my failed attempt to rescue Caleb from his father, and I have been unable to get him back until now.I feel like a total failure; I failed as a mother for failing to protect my son, and now I am paying for the sin I committed on Jayden due to my fear.I tried to beg Jayden and even got on my knees, but he remained indifferent as he walked away with my son, promising that I would no longer be able to see Caleb.I was astonished when Mel grabbed both of my arms and turned me around to face her, and I was dumbfounded when I saw the tears pooling in her eyes.I couldn't help but feel bad because I was just thinking about myself and had forgo

Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 48: What the Heart Really Wants
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"How are they doing?" I couldn't help but wonder how Gabby and Caleb are doing while looking outside the glass window in my room.It's been two weeks since I decided to leave, and these two weeks have been the most painful and lonely I have ever experienced.Honestly, I wanted to go back to see Gabby and Caleb, but I tried to refrain from doing it because I didn't deserve them.I still couldn't accept the fact that my biological father is my Uncle Jovannie.My entire life, I assumed that my parents were murdered by some random person, but it turned out that it was my own uncle who murdered them, and the worst part is that he is my biological father.I'm the son of a murderer. So how could I face Gabby and my son, knowing that I'm not worthy of them?There is another person I don't know how to deal with, and that is Jared, who lost everything that day and almost lost his life, just because of Jovannie's selfishness.Jovanie has been imprisoned, but the fact t
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 47: A Help from a Friend
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Where are you, Jayden?" I thought to myself.It's been almost a week now since we were rescued from Jayden's uncle, Jovanie, and since that day, he hasn't shown his face to us.I tried calling his cellphone, but I couldn't get through to him. When I asked Jayden's staff, none of them could tell me where their boss was."You still can't contact him?" I heard Mel ask.We were currently in Caleb's room in the mansion, while Caleb was busy playing with his toys, oblivious to what happened to me and Brian."Yeah, I think his phone is still off," I said, followed by a long, deep sigh.I decided to lay down my body in Caleb's bed, I feel so exhausted from all the worry I felt for Jayden."What really happened?" I heard Mel ask, and then I felt the movement on the bed.I decided to start by telling her about my decision to meet with Brian. I know it would be unfair to Brian if I prolonged his hope that I could reciprocate his feelings.I decided to use my own car si
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 46: Revelation
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I could still feel my body is still shaking from the shock I was feeling, so when one of my staff offered to drive, I didn't refuse, and let him.I was worried that if I insisted on driving, I might meet an accident on the way.And right now we are heading to the address that Rosette gave me, where she brought Gabby's belongings.I didn't even need to memorize the address she gave me because that address was so familiar to me.It's a resthouse in Batangas with three hundred hectares of land and a wide variety of fruit-bearing trees like mango and coconut.I've been there multiple times already, especially during the summer vacation when I was young, so I am quite familiar with the place.My mind is in complete disarray as I try to make sense of what is going on.It took more than three hours to arrive at the said resthouse, and my driver parked the car at a safe distance."We're waiting for your instruction," I heard the leader of my staff ask.I immediately
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 45: Accomplice
-=Jayden's Point of View=- I angrily wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks; no matter how hard I tried not to feel anything, it was as if my heart was longing for that pain. It hasn't been a day since Gabby left me, but the pain I was feeling was wanting me to kill myself. The message from Gabby's text still lingers in my mind, and I tried so hard to forget about it, but it feels like those words are already engraved in my mind. I can't stop thinking about what they were doing now that she's with my brother, Jared. I thought everything was going to be alright after what happened between us. I thought, finally, I'm going to have a happy family, but I guess I was just being delusional. I poured whiskey from the glass I was holding, but when I saw that it was not enough, I decided to drink straight from the bottle. I don't care if the bitter taste is burning my throat; all that matters to me is that it's helping me ignore the pain of Gabby's betrayal. A few minutes later, I hear
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 44: The Text Message
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Riot"That's the exact word that describes how my house is because since we got back from vacation, Uncle Jovannie has kept insisting that Gabby and I should get married, but I don't want it to appear that I'm just being forced or as if she's being forced into marriage.I want everything to be natural, just the two of us in a romantic place, and she won't expect me to suddenly propose to her, but because of Uncle's nagging, it looks like my planned proposal will be postponed."I really need to talk to Uncle Jovanie about it," I said, frustration written all over my face.I decided to meet Isahiah so I could just have someone to tell my frustrations to.As much as I didn't want to leave Gabby and Caleb, I think I need to get away to have peace of mind, just because of my dear uncle."You really should talk to him, or better yet, since he's insistent that you and Gabby got married, why not just ask for his help, so you could prepare a grand proposal," he sugg
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 43: Five Days in Paradise
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I quickly turned off the alarm on my cellphone, carefully looked at my family, and then I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed that my cellphone alarm didn't wake them up.It's only five o'clock in the morning, but I've decided to get up; I want to prepare breakfast for them."Good morning, Master Jayden," Celia greeted me when I saw her busy in the kitchen."Good morning," I greeted her.She was about to prepare the things she was going to cook when I stopped her. I just explained that I would prepare breakfast for Caleb and Gabby."It looks like you love your family very much, Master Jayden. Just call me if you need anything," she said, and then decided to leave me alone in the kitchen.Even though she already left a while ago, the smile on my lips didn't disappear.Yes, I love Gabby and Caleb so much, and I never knew that I could be this happy.I don't know if I could continue living if one of them disappeared from my life.I didn't notice the time b
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 42: Where it all Started
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"I love you too, Jayden. I will never stop loving you," I was stunned when I heard those words from Gabby, and even though I didn't want to pull away, I had to when she confessed her feelings.I feel like my heart will jump out of my chest while looking at the woman I love the most.I looked into her eyes, and then I saw the love she has for me. I was worried that I might die from a heart attack because of how fast my heartbeat is, but I didn't mind since she made me the happiest man in the world."The woman I love loves me back," I thought to myself as I continued looking at Gabby's face with so much love."Don't you have anything to say?" She said this while laughing, but I could still detect the uncertainty in her voice, which prompted me to speak again.Alas! No words passed my lips.There was so much I wanted to tell her, but I couldn't find the words. I gripped her firmly out of fear that she would question my sincerity."How can you still love me afte
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 41: Consequence
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"What do you think he meant when he said he was jealous?"I've been asking her the same question ever since we met, but still, I couldn't think straight."My God, Gabby! We had the same conversation, but are you still having doubts?" Regina asked me in disbelief.When Jayden and I had that conversation, I immediately called Regina to come to Jayden's house, and now we are together.Caleb has also fallen asleep, so I have time to talk to Regina."I know, but it's just hard to believe, I mean after all my suffering when I took Caleb away from him, he will say he's jealous as if he has feelings for me," I said frustrated."People make mistakes, especially when it comes to love. You hurt him by hiding your child," she explained."But still, you won't hurt the person you love if it's true..." but I was stunned when I remembered the day he asked me to come to Norway."Listen, Gabby, I like you; I really do. This is the first time I felt this way toward any woman, a
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 40: Just be Honest
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"This can't be happening." I keep muttering to myself, but no matter how much I deny it, the proof is right in my hands.Again, I looked at the reports sent by Arman as if the truth could be changed."Brian is Jared."The documents Arman sent confirmed my suspicions.According to what he gathered, there was an Australian couple who saw Jared when he escaped from the killer of our parents, and also according to the information that Arman gathered, they brought my brother to Australia, where he grew up.According to their testimony to the police, Jared did not remember anything, not even his name, probably due to the shock he felt at that time.I have longed for and dreamed of seeing my brother for so long, but I have mixed feelings now.I couldn't stop my hand from shaking when I took the cell phone out of my pants pocket, and I immediately dialed the number saved in my phone."What a surprise, Jayden," he said to me on the other line. I heard the joy in his
